Rubyzip is a Ruby library (gem) for reading and writing zip archives, including support for AES encryption. It provides both high-level Zip::File APIs and streaming InputStream/OutputStream classes.
Use cases
- create zip archives in ruby
- extract files from a zip archive
- read and write zip files in a rails app
- create password-protected or AES-encrypted zips
- stream zip entries without loading everything into memory
- package files for download in a web app
When to choose
- you need zip read/write support in a Ruby project
- you need encrypted zip archives in Ruby
- you want a mature, widely-used Ruby zip gem
When to avoid
- you need tar, gzip, or 7z formats rather than zip
- you are not working in Ruby
- you need very high-performance native compression
